Active clinical trials for "Glucose Intolerance"

The research is designed as a randomized, 2-arm, parallel, controlled, human clinical trial to investigate the effects of avocado and mango consumption for 8 weeks on indices of macro- and micro- vascular function in individuals with prediabetes. FMD of the brachial artery, pulse wave velocity (PWV), central blood pressure (cBP), and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) of the eye will be used for vascular assessments. The research plan will also explore cognitive and kidney function benefits of regular avocado and mango intake using specified cognitive tasks and kidney function biomarkers

Newly released guidelines recommend increased physical activity (PA) and reduced sedentary behaviors (SB) to improve glycemia and prevent the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Typically, 30-60 min bouts of PA are advocated per day. Although this approach increases PA, it does not decrease the length of the sedentary periods through the day. This is important because recent epidemiological data suggest that frequently interrupting sedentary time improves glucose control even in people who achieve the recommended levels of PA. Preliminary experimental data suggest that breaking up prolonged sedentary time by performing multiple short bouts (5 min) of PA throughout the day, may improve glycemia more than performing a single continuous bout of PA, and thereby potentially be a novel strategy to prevent T2D. The improvement in glycemia was observed even when the total amount of PA and total energy expenditure were matched, suggesting that how and when PA is performed over the day may matter more than how much PA is done. However, important gaps in knowledge remain including: (1) whether similar benefits on glucose control would be observed in adults with prediabetes, a clinically relevant population that is at high risk of developing T2D; (2) whether these effects are sustained or diluted over time, and (3) what are the mechanistic underpinnings. To address these gaps, the investigators propose to measure the acute and chronic effects of PA breaks on glucose control and the underlying mechanisms in individuals at risk of developing T2D. Sedentary men and women with prediabetes (n=66, 50% F) will be randomized to either an intervention designed to interrupt SB with 5-min bouts of brisk walking performed hourly for 9 hours/day, 5 days/week (BREAK) or a control condition consisting of 45-min of brisk walking performed as a single daily continuous bout, 5 days/week (ONE). The two 3-months interventions will be matched for total active time.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the impact of the risk haplotype on SLC16A11 on early therapeutic responses in treatments to prevent T2D in Mexican mestizos with prediabetes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Evaluate the effect of the risk haplotype on weigth loss >3% Evualuate the differences in lipid profiles and glycemic parameters (fasting glucose, HbA1c). Participants will be randomized into two groups: lifestyle intervention (LSI): hypocaloric diet, 25 kcal/kg of ideal weight, 45% of the total intake of carbohydrates, 30% lipids, and 25% protein sources + physical activity (>150 min medium intensity per week), or LSI + MET (750 mg metformin twice a day). Researchers will compare carriers and non carriers of the risk haplotype of SLC16A11 to see if there are diferent treatment responses.

The epidemics of obesity, MeTSy, T2DM and CVD are increasing worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming recognized as a condition possibly involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. The prevailing hypothesis for NAFLD pathogenesis is the 'two-hit' model, with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia playing essential roles, which have a plethora of effects on hepatic lipid metabolism and can lead to accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes. Accepted treatment for NAFLD is lifestyle modifications. Sex hormones might be relevant in T2DM development and treatment. Low testosterone (T) has deteriorating effects on glucose levels, and aggravates in obesity as aromatization of T is enhanced. T deficiency is related to increases of visceral fat accumulation and associated with development of NAFLD. T replacement might be a successful way in hypogonadism to treat obesity and counteract progression of MEtSy,T2DM or CVD driven by visceral fat accumulation or NAFLD. Primary Objective To investigate the effects on hepatic lipid content reduction of a therapy with Testosterone undecanoate 1000mg compared to placebo given for 52 weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypogonadism.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a change in GDF-15 levels in individuals with prediabetes at the 2nd hour after the first exercise and after a 12-week exercise program with guide-based exercise programs.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of a fully automated digital diabetes prevention program to standard of care human coach-based diabetes prevention programs for promoting clinically meaningful lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes.

This is a 12-month prospective, open-label, non-masked, two arm randomized controlled trial comparing intermittently-viewed continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) in addition to lifestyle modification programme (LMP) as compared with a LMP alone in individulas with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Following informed consent, participants will undergo screening where a fasting glucose, 75g OGTT, HbA1c, fasting lipid profile along with comprehensive medical and drug history to confirm eligibility. At week 0, participants will be randomised to CGM plus LMP versus LMP alone. Both groups will receive individualized structured LMP programme delivered by a dietitian and a fitness instructor. Outcomes will be evaluated by laboratory tests, physical measurement, physical activity and dietary compliance and questionnaires at Month 0, 4, 8, 12.

Prediabetes is associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although metformin can delay progression to diabetes there is a lack of RCTs evaluating the effect of metformin on cardiovascular outcomes. MIMET aims to investigate if addition of metformin to standard care has effects on the occurrence of cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction in patients with newly detected prediabetes (identified by oral glucose tolerance test, HbA1c or fasting glucose levels).

This study will examine the impact of the seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract on blood glucose levels after a sugary drink in healthy subjects. The aim of this study is to investigate if the seaweed extract, when consumed with the sucrose, can lower blood glucose levels, compared to the raise after sucrose only, in healthy volunteers. The study is designed as an acute, double-blind, randomised, controlled crossover trial in 16 healthy subjects. Participants will be asked to consume sucrose solution or sucrose solution with added seaweed extract.The effects on blood glucose levels will be determined over 2 hours after the consumption.

This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).
